Building Blocks

Each
year HomeOfHeroes.com remembers Veterans' Day with the release of a
special calendar for the following year. Our FREE, DOWNLOADABLE
2005 Medal of Honor Calendar was delayed this year and became available on
December 7, 2004 in commemoration of National Pearl Harbor
Day. It will remain available throughout the
year.

This year's
calendar is designed to serve as a tribute not only to our Medal of
Honor heroes of past generations, but to the youth of a new generation
who learn their values and the importance of freedom from those who have
gone before to pave the way. Our heroes spend much of their time
speaking to youth in schools, visiting our valiant troops at home and on
the front lines in the fight for freedom. We call our 2005
Calendar

Building
Blocks For The Future

The 2005 Building
Blocks calendar is a unique, full-color, patriotic calendar
you
and your friends can enjoy
all year long. Every month displays not holidays and important
dates from history.

Additionally, as in past calendars, you will also find the
birth dates
and the
anniversary date of the heroic action of each of our living Medal of Honor recipients.
Photos at the top of the calendar feature images of some of our Nation's greatest
living heroes.

Print one
calendar for yourself, print a second one for a friend. In fact, while you are
printing why not make one more to send to one of our servicemen or servicewomen as a
Christmas gift.

There is NO LIMIT on how many calendars you
can print, so long as you
distribute them as FREELY as we are sharing them with you.

One reason we
release the calendar on Veterans Day is because many of our visitors print
multiple copies to send in lieu of Christmas Cards. Each calendar has a
blank section on the first page where you can inscribe your own personal
message for those you send to others.

Clubs, organizations,
museums, and veterans groups are encouraged to print enough calendars for each of their
members, or to offer as gifts to others. We even provide a space for you to write a
personal note, add your organization name, include a special patriotic verse, or write a
tribute to a hero in your own life.

Instructions

Basically, obtaining your calendar is a simple
three-step process:

Download your calendar from our site.

Print both sides of your calendar on your
printer.

Bind the top edge of your calendar. (You
can get an attractive comb or spiral binding done at most prints
shops, Office Max, etc. for about $1.)

DOWNLOADING

TWO files are required for your
calendar:

Calendar_1 (The first one
you'll print), and

Calendar_2 (What you will
print on the BACK side of the Calendar_1 pages).

BEFORE you download the files
from our site there are TWO things you will need to know in order
to select the proper files from our list below:

1. WHAT PROGRAM DO
YOU WANT TO OPEN THE CALENDAR IN?

Microsoft WORD

If your
computer has WORD 2000 or later, this is the option we
recommend, as it is the program used to create the
calendar. Since the calendar is created using nested
tables, a feature not supported in WORD 97, we do not
recommend it for earlier versions than 2000.

Adobe PDF

PDF files open
in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a program that comes on most
computers. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can
download and install it FREE. This is the option
recommended if you do not have Microsoft WORD on your
computer.

1. HOW DOES YOUR
PRINTER FEED THE PAPER FOR PRINTING?

For the most part, printers can
be divided into THREE groups. Compare your printer to those
shown below, in order to download the most user friendly version
of our calendar files. Below the printer's indicated you
will find the appropriate files to download. We strongly
recommend that you click on the PRINT INSTRUCTIONS for the
appropriate printer to access a PRINT HELPS page. Print this
page for later reference.
